Reclaimed Wood Plant Hangers and Bird Feeders

I’m so excited to finally be re-purposing some old wood from a pile on our property that I have simply refused to let go of. The weathered, worn and gray pieces have such character that I could never re-create with any finishing technique. I love having a go-to pile when inspiration strikes. I just adore garden decor and these versatile hangers can used for a number of adorable fillers. They can also be made with inexpensive 1X1 wood pieces from your hardware store as well.With a compound miter saw you want to cut four pieces of wood with 45 degree ends to form a perfect square. {approx. 6 inches long}

Add a little Gorilla Wood Glue to the corners and nail together.

Your left with a cute little frameUsing a tiny bit of Gorilla Stronger-Faster Glue attach small terra cotta flower pots to the bottom center rail. {You can find the tutorial for the faux finish on the terra cotta pots here}This Gorilla Glue really expands so it is perfect for the pots because of the recessed lip on the bottom. You only need to apply a tiny bit and it will magically triple in size and create an incredible bond. These little pots are not going anywhere.Once the glue is completely dry, drill a hole in the top rail for hanging.I potted some succulents in a few {perfect because of their low maintenance and high tolerance} and a few I made into bird feeders.

I just think they are super cute hanging from the trees.

I’m sure our feathered friends will think so too! Enjoy!

P.S. Had my foot check out today and it turns out it is sprained not broken ~ whew! Thanks for the kind comments – I appreciate it!

I really like what you did.. they look wonderful hanging in the trees! I’d have to put plants, the critters pull everything out of the trees here, so I can’t put out any food at all! What would we do without ‘gorilla glue’….Sandy

Great Idea! I will have to share this with my husband and get him trying this with all of the wood he is saving for projects just like this one. Thanks for sharing the tutorial! They look great hanging.

Hi!! I am your newest follower from Randee’s Organized Chaos!! Would love for you to come take a look and follow along if you like and I am having my 1st Linking Party and would LOVE for you to link up!!THANKS!!!!

I noticed you used gorilla glue, just want to warn you I have used said glue and found that it doesn’t always work, in fact I have found it to give way and what every I glued with it, fell apart. its not worth the investment. I have found the same to be true with glue used with gun guns. There are other products out there for hard surfaces such as pottery, and tile. You have to use one of those guns that carpenters or construction people use, people who caulk fast. I believe its called construction glue. you have to make sure that when you place your object down, its down. no chance for moving it, what so ever.

That is so cute! I would love for you to post that at my craft showcase. I host a weekly craft showcase and would like to invite you to link up and join the link party. This link will take you to it…..https://sewliciousdecor.wordpress.com.
